What it points to : A communication structure that is unreliable, unvalidated, and not strong enough to support trust, alignment, or long-term retention.​​

​​

What's happening: Compensation may appear acceptable in the short term, but the long-term value of staying is weak, unclear, or inconsistent.

What it causes:  Employees become more open to outside offers, less committed over time, and more likely to leave for stability elsewhere.

What it points to:  A retention model that may be relying too heavily on short-term pay while failing to create long-term employment value.

​

What's happening: There is no structured way to measure retention drivers, and too much depends on anecdotal feedback, assumptions, or isolated complaints.

What it causes: Guessing, delayed response, and decisions made without clear pattern recognition.

What it points to:  A business that cannot accurately identify why people stay, why they leave, or where corrective action is most needed. ​
